The Department of Homeland Security has informed an official from the Guatemalan government that no more migrants are being transported from Texas to Arizona.

"They aren't going to send any more," said Jimena Diaz, consul general of Guatemala, who is based in Phoenix.

Diaz said she was informed earlier today by an official from the Phoenix office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement that no more families are being sent from southern Texas to Arizona.

ICE officials could not immediately confirm that the practice had been stopped. But Ruben Reyes, a spokesman for U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Tucson, told 12 News that ICE officials had confirmed that no more migrant families are being flown from Texas to Arizona.

The DHS began transporting hundreds of undocumented immigrants from southern Texas to Arizona over the Memorial Day weekend and then releasing them at Greyhound bus stations in Tucson and Phoenix. DHS officials said the Border Patrol didn't have the manpower to handle a surge in undocumented immigrants from Central America crossing the border illegally in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas.

The practice prompted outrage from public officials, including Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, who complained that DHS officials never informed her or state officials before making the decision to transfer the migrants from Texas to Arizona. The release also raised concerns from humanitarian groups concerned that the migrants were being dumped at the bus stations in 100-degree heat without food and water.

Since the release began, dozens of volunteers have been showing up at the bus stations daily to provide the migrants, mostly women and children, with food, water and other basic necessities and to help them make travel arrangements.

Most of the released migrants are not staying in Arizona but traveling to other cities to reunite with family members after being released on humanitarian parole.
